Link an Amazon Web Services account

You can create a role with AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) so that Docker Cloud can provision and manage swarms on your behalf.

How to create the link

For instructions on how to link your AWS account to Docker Cloud, see the AWS instructions that enable swarm mode.

Note: The procedure for linking these accounts is the same, regardless of whether you are using Docker Cloud in Swarm Mode or not. If you are using standard mode, come back to these topics after you have linked your AWS account.

What’s next?

You’re ready to start using AWS as the infrastructure provider for Docker Cloud! If you came here from the tutorial, continue the tutorial and deploy your first node.
